A record turnover is expected from the 18th annual charity event at Brackley Town Park with the proceeds going to a variety of organisations and good causes in and around the town.

Brackley Round Table organised the festival, which had 72 different ales, 18 boxes of cider, Pimms, wines plus a selection of bands providing the music and plenty of food on offer too.

Co-organiser Phil Luxford said: “We are yet to have the final total but early calculations suggest we’re going to raise £20,000-plus which is a fantastic amount, especially to raise on one day.”

“It’s a really good family event and it’s been a really good year.”
